Question question about stillen intake airbox

Hi, sorry i'm a total noob but I just bought a used 04 bs g35C with 45k miles on it. It came with a Stillen intake airbox and i wanted to buy another air filter for it cause the current one is getting dirty. I read that it uses the K&N air filter as well and was wondering if anyone knew the part number so i can order an extra one so i can switch them out? Thanks!

i have an 04 sedan, stillen intake. when i wanted to buy the replacement filter directly from K&N, i was told, by stillen, that altho K&N makes the filters, they make it to stillen's exact specs to fit w/ their intake system. thus, you have to buy the replacement from stillen, not from K&N.

in anycase, i just bought the replacement from stillen for 45 bux or something like that.

You're supposed to clean it and reoil it as per K&N's instructions and kit

yeah i will after i get the second one so i can swap it out and clean with no downtime. I dont have the instructions since I bought the car used. But I used to have an Injen and AEM CAI on my old cars so I believe they should be similar..
I just called Stillen and found out they are close to me so I'll go pick it up tomorrow! Thanks for all the quick responses, this forum rocks!

I just clean it at night. Leave it to dry. Oil it in the morning and install it. Let it sit for 30 min and drive off.

i could have cleaned my previous one, too but i'm just **** and wanted a new filter. also, the thought of risking possibly getting stuff stuck in the MAF bc i didn't clean it properly or not letting it dry out all the way, had me sketched. 50 bux for 50k miles, eh.

Do the smart thing then....don't replace with the STILLEN....replace with the JWT pop-charger. Its the same size, fits well...but the velocity stacks are much better. Also, they can be had at relatively the same price.
